spent half the night dreaming about the file selector. fortunately it isn't as confsuing when i am awake as when i dream about it.

since i've eaten around 30 burritos, got the quesadilla and corn-on-the-cob today.

more file sel hacking. have the shortcut bar hooked up, and did the path option menu. i need to hack up the icon factory better. looked at nautilus' icon factory and found some interesting things. did a couple of tests on running nautilus and closing the window, causing it to exit:

jacob@wet-pants:jacob$ strace nautilus 2>&1 | egrep -c "(pixmaps|emblems)*ENOENT" 9999 jacob@wet-pants:jacob$ strace -c nautilus execve("/gnome/bin/nautilus", ["nautilus"], [/* 32 vars */]) = 0 % time seconds usecs/call calls errors syscall ------ ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ---------------- 26.32 0.340169 33 10298 9811 stat64

so i need to emulate its behaviour a bit more. i also want to have it load some standard icons for known directories such as home, desktop, etc. which mac os x does but nautilus doesn't.

blah blah blah.

got some dave ralph cd's since alex insists that i like him.

blah blah blah.

my laptop is supposed to be on its way back soon.
